021 - [Action/Accidental Voice]

[hageshii]

[Early, early on Sunday morning at about 4AM, the journal will begin broadcasting the sounds of someone's room... and two other people in that room. See this thread for what exactly is broadcast. Afterward, two unsavory characters will be dragging a certain doctor off in the direction of the mountains. There will be no responses over the journal, as the three of them didn't bring their journals at all.

Later in the day, they can be found at the hot springs up in the mountains. Bang and Goroh are both standing around to make sure Litchi doesn't try to run off, while Litchi... will no doubt be worrying. But never fear! In his wisdom, Goroh brought a supply of booze and liquor along for the trip. Feel free to try and find Litchi after her apparent abduction.]

((ooc: Only action tags will get responses. Any one of Goroh, Litchi, and Bang may answer your tags. If you're lucky, you may get all three!))

[Having reached the exact same conclusion, Tsubaki is SOMEWHERE in the mountains too. Miss Litchi must be around there somewhere...

Hmmm.]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[... ... Wait. Isn't that--?]

... Tsubaki?

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

[Sure is! She turns toward the voice with a start.]

Noel! Are you... did you hear what happened?

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[She walks over to her.]

I-I did. [...] Were you going after them, too?

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

[She nods.]

I was really worried after hearing what was broadcast. [...] Do you know the way?

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[...Ffff. It's a good thing she ran into Tsubaki. Not that Noel knows what to expect, but if things got dangerous... yeah. But it's not like she can tell her to turn back now.]

I have this, but... [And she shows Tsubaki a page of the journal, which has a map of Luceti. Not the most detailed, but STILL.] ...I'm not sure how accurate it is.

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

[It really is a good thing. Tsubaki ran out, weaponless, on a justice-related impulse. There's always a backup, but... let's hope it never comes to that.]

I see. I'm sure it couldn't be too far off. [Frowning at the map.] I suppose we should keep heading this way, then.

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[Noel nods, choosing to keep close to Tsubaki as they continue to head on up. She stays alert.]

What would they want with Miss Litchi? I don't understand...

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

[Still trekking. According to the map, they should be getting very close though.]

It's absurd. But then, I've come to expect that of this place. [Sigh.] I guess we'll find out when we get there...

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

A while ago, I caught Bang watching Miss Litchi while she was working. And Goroh seemed to know her, too... [They couldn't have been planning this all along, have they?]

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

Watching her?

[...] You don't mean... like a stalker, do you?

[And HEY. Is that the place, just up over there?]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

Th... That's what it looked like to me. [Miss Litchi was sure there was a reason, but then...

OH HEY.] H-Hey... is that...?

[hageshii]

[SUDDENLY GOROH.]

You ladies better turn on around. The springs are occupied today.

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

[...Wait. Just what have they gotten themselves into?]

Is that so?

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[Nope. SHE'S SUMMONING BOLVERK.]

W-What did you do to Miss Litchi!?

[hageshii]

[Seeing that, Goroh will immediately draw his sword and hold it towards the one he thinks is the most vulnerable. Surprisingly, that's not you Noel. Shoot and your friend will be shooting blood from her throat.]

Litchi is fine. She doesn't need interruptions. Now I suggest you get going, Noel.

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

[OH SH--

...No time to marvel at Noel having Bolverk. She's a little preoccupied right now.]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[OH NO YOU DIDN'T.

She's stepping in front of Tsubaki now. Don't worry, bff. 8C Noel will protect you. Goroh? She's not very happy with you now.]

"Fine"? How can you expect us to believe that after you kidnapped her!?

[hageshii]

She wasn't kidnapped.

[Oh hell no you don't woman. His sword goes down, placed in the ground. He then quickly pulls up both arms, pulling them apart when they're between her guns and batting them away. His hand goes back to his blade and then his sword will be all over you like a paper shredder. Surprisingly though, Noel won't have so much as a scratch on her. But her clothes...]

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

[OMFG.]

Wh-What have you done!? [She pulls Noel behind her because WHAT THE FUCK, GOROH. Though of course there's not much else she can do except hope that he backs off after having made his point.]

1/3

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[Shit. That was surprisingly fast, and before she knows it Goroh's trying to make her lose grip of her gun. While she'd usually resist more to this, a sharp pain shot through Noel's right hand, giving her no choice but to let go damn it yuber.]

Ah--!

2/4

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[FUCK FUCK FUCK SHIELDING HERSELF OH SHIT]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

... Eh?

[She's okay...? But--oh.

There goes her clothes.]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[She screams rather loudly, covering herself and falling to her knees as Tsubaki steps in front of her.

She's-- Goroh just--

*sob*]

[hageshii]

[As soon as Tsubaki steps forward, he repeats the same trick on here. With that taken care of, he slides his sword back in it's sheath.]

Like I said. Get back to town. [And with that, he's going to walk away like a total badass. In fact, he'll go ahead and light a cigarette as he's walking away.]
